Hi Ron what you got there is leopold or Anzio annie, Dora is bigger, but those are nice pics should put them in the reference section.

B****r!


Not to worry, I'll do as you suggest. Perhaps they might come in handy for someone as regards weathering etc.....

You're on....You start one end and I'll start at the other. Then 1 year later we will meet in the middle!

I have read in reviews that they would not recommend super glue as it is so brittle.
Have seen this recommend as it actually works the same as polystyrene glue but is more aggressive. [ATTACH]114869[/ATTACH]


It's a bit like plastiweld which you could also use.

I've just tried this EMA Plastic Weld and it hasn't touched the plastic at all I'm afraid. However, Mr Cement S seems to work. That might be worth a go Scott - certainly easier to use than CA.

Yeah! I had to collect mine from a shop. It wouldn't fit in the boot of the car - it was only a Merc 230 saloon - so I had to put it on the back seat!

Here you go Ron. The one at the front is the Leopold from your pics. the Dora is at the back - both in 1/35 - so you can see why we're getting all excited about Scott's build!
